TwoHeadsTas Posted 6February, 2021 Report Share Posted 6February, 2021 Interesting article I came across while reading some old P mags I bought a few months ago. Never got around to reading them during the lockdown....... Schuppan.pdf sjm and Raven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas Posted 7February, 2021 Report Share Posted 7February, 2021 Thanks for that....! I used to be friends (my neighbour) with one of Schuppan's mechanics (Ken Stratton - now deceased) and I always liked to listen to Ken's LeMans experiences.

LeeM Posted 7February, 2021 Report Share Posted 7February, 2021 Vern was my hero back when he was with Porsche. I finally met him at Mallala Historic meeting couple of years ago when he was doing demo laps in his Talbot F1 car. Such a nice bloke to talk to with me being very nervous to go up to him, yet he shook my hand and was happy to chat. Gobsmacked! Absolutely pissed I didn't get an autograph though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilson59 Posted 8February, 2021 Report Share Posted 8February, 2021 I met him at a friends warehouse where he keeps his collection of cars and bikes I thought he was the caretaker . After I worked out who he was we got chatting he is such a lovely bloke with great stories we spoke a lot about him racing cars with Mike Hailwood .

3legs Posted 8February, 2021 Report Share Posted 8February, 2021 Met him twice. 1st at a PCSA meeting way back in 1985 ( or was it 86 ) and then at a local motor trimmers here in Kilkenny Adelaide around 5 years ago. As the others have said very nice bloke and easy going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
